LONDON. Sept. 21.-TO say that Lon
don'S social and political circles were
revelations anent the Hughes Hallett
scandal would be mild way of put
ting it. The papers are full of it and
columns but recently given to the
chronicling of the deliberations of par
lament are now reeking with the un-
savory details of the alleged liaison
between the society favOrite and his
step daughter. In every club in town
the Pail Mall Gazette revelations and
charges are discussed, and although
carefully excluded from the drawing
room, the subject crops out i'll the SmOk-
ing room and here again comes i'll as a
renewed topic of conversation. The
Evening News, IIallett'S organ, makes a
very tame technical defense of the ac-
cusation against the colonel. and does
not attempt to deny
TIE SEDUCTION OF MISS SELWYN.
The News pins its argument of de-
fense upon the fact that Col. Hallett
borrowed money from the young lady,
but this, the paper claims has been re-
turned, and consequently eXOnerateS
the colonel from blame in the matter,
and as for the wretched crime which, to
well-ininded people, is the most heinOus
that can exist, this righteous paper
calmly disposes of it with the remark
that this is matter between the colonel
and the young lady herself: that Miss
Selwyn is simply his step-daughter by
his first wife, and hence, if the girl was
foolish enough to allow herself to fall.
she must be considered i'll the light of
legitimate prey. Many c0mmonerS,
states the News, are i'll the same boat.
1t is asserted that
THE TORY LEADERS
are satisfied with Col. Hallett's eXpla-
nation, and that he will not be request
ed to resign his seat in the House of
Commons. The sensation caused by
the Pail Mall Gazette'S expose nearly
equals the proportions reached at the
time that that journal implicated half
the parliament people in London in
scandals. Society is now curious to
know what action Capt. Charles Selwyn,
the matter. Col. Hallett himself, takes
the matter calmly and like the famous
William Tweed, when his corrupt pO-
lftical ring in New York was exposed
eXclaims-'Well, what are you going
to do about it?''
MORE ABOUT IT.
The Pail Mall Gazette publishes to-
day another installment of the Hughes
Hallett scandal. 1t says that Miss Sell
wyn was accustomed to call Col. Hallett
father, and the latter declared often
that he regarded his stepdaughter as his
own child. The Gazette goes on to say
that Col. Hallett induced Lady Selwyn
to leave him her fortune, thus taking it
away from her own children. At the
country house, where the intrigue is
said to have been discovered between
Gazette alleges that the host immedi-
ately expelled the colonel from his
house, leaving him in the garden with
his baggage. Two mornings afterward
this gentleman telegraphed Hallett's
wife: "Your husband is villain. /
have turned him out of my house."

THE VICTIM.
She Will Soon Become a Mother.

She Will Soon Become Mother.
LONDON, Sept. 21.-The London So
cial and political world has received a
severe shock by the revolving accusa-
tions which have been brought by the
Pail Mall Gazette against Col. Hughes
Hallett, NJ. P, who, in 1882, married the
beautiful Miss Emily Schomberg, of
Philadelphia. For some weeks past it
has been rumored in the clubs that the
honorable and gallant member for
Rochester was swimming in troubled
waters, with every prospect of coming
to grief. But even his worst enemies
and the Tory member has not a few
are little prepared for the fearful
charges which have been advanced
against him with such crushing circum-
stantiality by the Pail Mall Gazette. As
cording to the story published in this
paper, in 1871 Col. Hughes Hallett mar
ried the widow of the late Lord Justice
Selwyn. Lady Selwyn had two children
by her first husband, with whom, on the
death of their mother and his marriage
with Miss Schomberg, the colonel re
mained Oh friendly terms. One of these
children is Capt. Charles. William Sell
wyn: NJ. p. The other is
A BEAUTIFUL YOUNG LADY
of twenty-four, with whom Col.
Hughes Hallett is accused of sin
ming, against all social conven-
tons and natural laws. The in
trigue was discovered some weeks ago
at a country house where both were
stopping. The matter was brought to
the notice of the young lady'S brother,
who on looking into her accounts, found
that the colonel had also made free with
her fortune, amounting to 100000,
which she had inherited from her
father. The money was Immediately
made good, however, and in an inter-
view with First Lord of the Treasury w.
IL. Smith and Mr.. Douglas, the tory
whip, it is said that Col. Hughes HalIett
succeeded in convincing them that he
was guiltlesS of any malversation of
money. Here, at least for the time,
government interference in the matter
ceased. 1t is claimed in all quarters
that the unwillingneSs of the govern
ment to ask Col. Hughes Hallet for his
resignation of his seat in parliament is
actuated by their fears that the liberals
would gain the borough, the colonel
having been returned by a very small
majority at the last general election.
The Pail Mall Gazette adds that six
monthshence the unfortunate girl is ex-
pected to become mother by her step
father.
Col. Hughes Hallett denies the charges
made against him in the Pail Mall Ga
Zette this afternoon. He states that
during the life of his wife, Miss Selwyn
always resided with her guardians or
with relatives; tnat she never called
him father; that he never regarded her
in the relation of daughter. He denies
knowing anything of her will. and de-
clares he even did not know she made a
will; that he never heard she made a
bequest to him. The country house in
cident, he says,haS been wrongly stated.

LONDON, Sept. 21.-Timothy Harring-
toms searching examination of the con-
stables and police witnesses at Mitchels-
town is exciting widespread comment
in the Tory papers. The police
viciously resent his sharp queries and
presume upon the government support
ing them in the matter, despite the
damaging admissions made by them.
1t is suspected that in the event of an
Indictment for murder against the po-
lice that Chief Secretary Balfour will
Squelch it and prevent any legal trial.
In this case it is feared that the people
will take the law into their own hands
and lynch the obnoxious officers, so
high runs the indignation against them.
YESTERDAYS INQUIRY.
MITcHELsTowN. Sept. 2l.-John Dill
lon testified to-day as a witness of the
Mitchelstown riot on the night of the
9th inst, in the inquest over the victims
of the police firing. Harrington COM
planned that a Dublin. paper had de-
clared the police would be justified in
making him acquainted with the peculi-
arities of the horse pistol. This
language, he said, was an Indictment to
the police to commit violence, and the
court should not permit such language
used with impunity. Murphy, while
not justifying the course of the
paper, considered Harrington's call
ing Sergt. Ryder a. murderer
and villain provoked comment. Such
language should never have been ut
tered without meeting Il reproof in any
court i'll the civilized world. Harring-
ton retorted that he should continue to
use the same language. The coroner
deprecated the ret0rt. Witnesses were
called who defended Harringten's atti-
tude. Sergt. Ryder was then re-
called. In the course OF his testimony
he said: ''Harrington called me a muir
derer, a scoundreI and ruffian. and
said he would kick me off my chair.''
Harrington-'1 call you altar in adj
dition to Il scOundrel when you make
such statement. | will call you q
